Outstanding piece! Thanks! That's some good stuff.
I especially liked this part, "The platoon destroyed the enemy embarked in the vehicle using small arms fire."
Also, for any lefties reading this. Notice the discussion of changing ROEs. America's military tries real hard not to kill innocents. I'd dare say harder than almost all others.

What is a Marine Ranger? I thought a Ranger was exclusive to the Army.

Third, the Marines on the line all talk about audio exclusion and giving a nonstandard response (multiple rounds to the enemy’s chest) to each of their targets before immediately moving to head shots on the subsequent targets. The Marines shot what they were conditioned to fire, and the 5.56mm round will not put a man to the ground with two shots to the chest. Why I'm a big fan of 30-06

The use of iron sights will get our Marines killed. This seems unsettling ....
